211: Chapter 209: Scum Deserves a Beating 211: Chapter 209: Scum Deserves a Beating The restaurant owner quickly prepared two bowls of beef noodles and brought them over.
As soon as the beef noodles were ready, Lengzi hungrily shouted to the owner, “Bring them here.”
No sooner had Lengzi spoken than the two strangely dressed men fiercely glared at him, their expressions becoming somewhat savage.
Normally, such a look would scare anyone, but Lengzi certainly didn’t care about such gazes and disdainfully scanned the two men.
“Old shop, these are ours, bring them here,” one of the strangely dressed men said coldly to the owner.
The owner, who didn’t want any trouble, hesitated little before handing over the two bowls to the men, and said to Lengzi, “These two are theirs, please wait a moment; yours will be ready soon.”
Lengzi grimaced, clearly annoyed he was about to stand, but Tangyu gently patted him, saying, “Take it easy, if they ordered them, let them have it.” Lengzi then calmed down.
Tangyu looked over at the two strangely dressed men.
From their sly glances, Tangyu could tell these two certainly had no good intentions; it seemed they really were here to make trouble.
“Bang—”
One of the men suddenly slammed the table with force, sounding like a thunderclap, startling even the owner in the kitchen who thought something had exploded.
When he saw it was the man banging on the table, his face quickly showed a hint of fear, his heart filled with both shock and worry.
He hurried out, a placating smile on his face, “What’s wrong?”
“Scoundrel, looking for a beating,” Lengzi looked at the two with dissatisfaction, disturbed during his meal and now the owner couldn’t continue making his noodles, which really annoyed him.
If it weren’t inappropriate to start a fight here, he would have lost his temper and beaten them up already.
“What’s wrong, you ask?
Is this beef noodles?” another of the strangely dressed men roared, his voice thunderous, so loud it was frightening.
His volume matched his aggression, enough to frighten anyone.
The booming voice also made the owner tremble all over, completely at a loss.
“Noise, noise, causing death—won’t let people eat in peace, provoke me again, and I’ll beat you,” Lengzi couldn’t help but taunt the two men.
“Hmm.” The two men once again glared harshly at Lengzi.
One said, “Mind your own business, or you’ll regret it, just scram.
We’ve got your noodle.”
Tangyu watched the two men calmly.
After scolding the owner, they continued, “This isn’t beef; it’s horse meat.
We ordered beef noodles, not horse meat noodles, and you dare to deceive us like this.
Tell us, how should this be handled?
We detest being cheated the most.”
Facing the menacing duo, the proprietor, on the verge of tears, said somewhat pitifully, “This is definitely beef; we’ve been in business for over a decade, how could it be horse meat?
This is absolutely beef.”
“Hmph, beef my ass.
We’ve grown up eating beef; do you think we can’t taste the difference?
This is clearly horse meat.
Hmph, still trying to argue, believe it or not, I will smash this place.”
One of the men fiercely said, grabbing a plate and violently smashing it on the ground, sending shards flying and frightening the owner into a scream, tears inevitably flowing.
“Scoundrel, to actually claim beef is horse meat, it’s shameful how you reverse black and white, obviously just trying to extort money.
Is there no law in Donglin City?” Lengzi commented disdainfully.
Tangyu gave a cold smile and shook his head, “The law applies differently to different groups of people, and also depends on the severity of the incident.
An issue like this could be considered minor or perhaps a civil dispute.
Plus, these men are from the northernmost part of Hua Country, where landlords have always had significant autonomy; thus, the laws of Hua Country are somewhat biased towards them.
Even if the police were called, it wouldn’t do much; at most, they would mediate and resolve the issue.”
“What an annoying situation,” Lengzi shook his head.
The owner, realizing she was in trouble and couldn’t afford to offend such people, chose to cut losses, “What would you like to do then?”
Seeing the owner’s submission, smiles of triumph appeared on the faces of the two men.
One said, “What would we like?
Well, we don’t usually eat horse meat, because horses are our friends, how could we eat our friend’s meat?
But today, you made us eat horse meat, which is an enormous loss for us, so you need to compensate our loss, right?”
“What scum, to come up with such ghost stories, why not just directly say it’s extortion?
Going through all these twists and turns, utterly shameless, clearly exploiting legal loopholes,” Lengzi said indignantly.
Tangyu laughed, as far as a sense of justice was concerned, Lengzi indeed had a stronger one than his own; Lengzi, new to society, was still naive to its harsh realities.
“Fine, I’ll compensate you, tell me how you want it done,” the owner said through gritted teeth.
“Heh, not much, just ten thousand each from us, and we will settle this,” the strangely dressed man said with a sneer.
“Blasphemer.” Lengzi finally couldn’t restrain his anger and stood up.
“You really dare to make outrageous demands, extorting ten thousand per person.
You are truly two pieces of scum.”
The two unusually dressed men naturally heard Lengzi’s words and immediately glared at Lengzi with a fierce look, and even walked over here, their faces unfriendly and clearly menacing.
Seeing the two men initiate an attack, Lengzi was actually a bit excited; this was exactly what he wanted.
The boss didn’t allow him to fight with people at will, but if someone else wanted to strike him, then he could always retaliate, right?
“Boss, you can’t blame me for this, hehe,” Lengzi said.
Tangyu indifferently remarked, “Scum deserves to be beaten.”
Hearing this, Lengzi immediately grinned broadly and laughed, “Alright.”
By this time, the two unusually dressed men had also reached Lengzi’s side and reached out to grab him.
Lengzi stepped forward, and his two large hands reached out toward the two men, like an eagle seizing chicks, simply unstoppable.
His hands grabbed the fronts of their shirts.
The two men were also stunned, their faces slightly changing.
They reached out to grab Lengzi’s hands but were shocked to find that his hands were like those of a giant, completely immovable, firm like steel poles.
“Uh—”
The two unusually dressed men soon let out cries of shock as they found themselves inexplicably flying into the air, getting higher and higher, quickly being lifted over Lengzi’s head.
Lengzi, like picking up chicks, held the two men, each weighing at least one hundred and fifty to sixty kilograms, high above his head with no visible strain on his face, as effortlessly as if he were lifting two little chicks.
But this scene terrified many people.
The two men struggled desperately to hold onto Lengzi’s hands, their faces turning rather pale with fear.
The shop owner was stunned as if struck by lightning, his eyes wide, filled with disbelief, as if he had seen an immortal.
Seeing Lengzi’s performance, Tangyu smiled with satisfaction.
Lengzi had Innate Divine Strength; at the age of twelve, he could capture a water buffalo and pin it to the ground, earning him the reputation of a reincarnated immortal in the village.
Since he was twelve, Lengzi tried several times to beg the Ghost Doctor to take him as a disciple, but was repeatedly turned away.
It was then that Lengzi met Tangyu, and after losing miserably to Tangyu in several bouts, he wholeheartedly acknowledged Tangyu as his boss.
Tangyu also pleaded with his master several times to take Lengzi as an apprentice, but the master was very firm because Lengzi had no talent for medicine.
So later, Tangyu could only give Lengzi some guidance occasionally, teaching him what he could and holding back what the master had said must not be disclosed.
Even so, Lengzi’s skills improved tremendously; at the age of fifteen, he actually managed to kill a water buffalo with a single punch.
At the age of sixteen, he went into the mountains to catch wild beasts and actually captured a black bear alive.
Tangyu had also studied his Innate Divine Strength but couldn’t figure out the cause.
Tangyu had questioned his master, the Ghost Doctor, about this issue more than once, but the answers were always vague, only revealing once that Lengzi had a very rare constitution.
It’s just a pity that he’s born in this era; if he had been born a few thousand years earlier, he would certainly have achieved extraordinary accomplishments.
Although the master did not explain clearly, Tangyu was very certain that there was a reason behind Lengzi’s Innate Divine Strength, and that Lengzi had the potential to become an unmatched master.
Lengzi was obsessed with martial arts, immersing all his thoughts in training from childhood.
Unfortunately, there was no suitable martial arts for him to cultivate, which caused his abilities to cease progressing after the age of eighteen.
“What the boss said is right, scum like you deserves to be beaten.
Can’t even have a meal in peace, why the fierceness, think your voice is loud?
My voice is even louder than yours, yet I’m not shouting.
This is clearly beef, yet you blatantly lie saying it’s horse meat.
Does your horse look like this?
You clearly just want to extort, I really hate scum like you, simply the dregs of society, get out of here!”
Lengzi, holding the two men, directly went to the door and then forcefully threw them out onto the main road.
They hit the ground heavily and rolled on the ground like rolling watermelons, rolling several times before stopping, badly bruised and bleeding from the impact.
The two men struggled to get up, glanced at Lengzi fearfully, and ran away in panic.
And this whole scene had been witnessed by Xu Hu, who had just arrived.
Xu Hu, along with two followers, got out of the car and walked briskly into the noodle shop, his eyes also falling in surprise on Lengzi.
He couldn’t help but think to himself, this guy has some extraordinary strength, lifting two men totaling over three hundred kilograms as if throwing sandbags.
How strong must he be?
Probably as strong as several buffaloes.
Xu Hu had mixed in this environment for many years and seen all kinds of strong men, but he had never seen anyone with such immense strength.
Looking at Lengzi’s physique, he wasn’t exceptionally large; he was just about one meter ninety tall, probably weighing around two hundred kilograms; this was somewhat beyond common sense.
